RCA LED42C45RQ

 

RCA's LEDC45RQ series is a very affordable HDTV line offering full 1080p resolution and energy-efficient LED backlighting. Picture quality is above average for sets in the under-$500 price range, so it's our Editors' Choice for budget HDTVs.

Affordable. Good viewing angles. Convenient port location.

Conclusion With the RCA LED42C45RQ you get a very affordable 42-inch HDTV that uses energy-efficient LED backlighting and delivers a bright, well-balanced picture. In order to keep the price under $500 RCA had to skimp on some features, which explains...

Consumer review (walmart.com)

great price on a 42" TV

 

The TV was shipped beautifully, really well packed so as not to damage the product, the TV itself has a great picture and the only bad remark is the stand that you need to attach is quite tricky. You will need a screwdriver with a magnetic head or else...
